I've always had him down as average/decent defender. But I haven't really watched him that often.

 

All stats paint him as good on that end.

 

I should probably watch him more.

I think we must at least try to get him. He's basically a missing piece in this roster, would help us so much even at a big cost. He's been having a slump this season but he was quite good the previous two seasons shooting 44% from three and getting 14-15 points a night on average, he's a good rebounder, not that turnover prone. We're not going to be able to sign marquee players in free agency anyway.

 

Christ.

Harrell has turned into such a beast. He's what Faried should've been, the difference being that Harell has DPOY potential.

Obviously now unattainable.

 

Clippers have done an excellent job during this rebuild. They’ve got some young talent - Shai has been excellent and will likely be a top 10 players from this draft, got some decent looking extensions for Williams, Bradley and Harrell. They are going to have $63million of cap space available next year and could increase it to $85million by trading Gallinari which should be very easy considering his recent form but probably won’t be needed anyway as they can sign two max players and then still extend Harris to go above the cap. They are favourites to land Kawhi and could even play a part in the pursuit of KD or Klay. They are really well run.

 

Let's figure a way to get Otto Porter. He's the addition that cures the ills IMO. He's available, and Washington wants picks, and expiring contracts..

 

What about finding an owner?

 

What?

 

From July:

 

I would definitely love this.

POR Gets: Otto Porter Jr, Markieff Morris, Ian Mahinmi,
SAC Gets: Maurice Harkless, Wade Baldwin,
WAS Gets: Skal Labissiere, Meyers Leonard, Evan Turner, $20M in savings, very large TPE

And then this:

POR Gets: Markelle Fultz
PHI Gets: Al-Farouq Aminu, 2019 POR 1st

Lillard (36) / Fultz (12)
McCollum (35) / Curry (13)
Porter (26) / Stauskas (17) / Curry (5)
Morris (26) / Layman (15) / Collins (8) / Porter (7)
Nurkic (30) / Collins (18) / Mahinmi

 

Right now we don't have an owner. That doesn't affect anything?

 

Its hard to tell what it effects the team DOES have an owner. Its not like PA’s stuff went to an auction and no one claimed the team.

The thing is most people believe the owner when the smoke clears will sell the team. What that means in the short term is mostly speculation, because outside of NO and McGowen saying the day to day wont change and some snippets about a plan being in place we dont have much.

My speculation is that they will sell in the next year or two. That they will be very, very risk averse so as to not damage the worth of the team. I have nothing to base that on though its just my own thoughts about it.

 

CJ for Josh Richardson, James Johnson and a future first. Johnson is on a bloated contract and CJ is an upgrade for them. Richardson gives us a better defender who can still shoot the three.

If they didn't want to give up Josh Richardson for Butler, why would they do it for CJ?

 

I guess they wouldn't. I didn't realize that Richardson was the sticking point.

 

Beal and Oubre for CJ, Trent and 2019 1st?

 

Where do I sign

 

CJ + Harkless + 1st rounder for Beal + Mahinimi + 2nd rounder

I think the Blazer would need a deal like this to get them to listen.

 

How does that make any sense for them?

 

Again, why would Washington flip Beal for McCollum and a late 1st? Makes no sense.
